A dog walks into a butcher shop with a purse strapped around his neck.
He walks up to the meat case and calmly sits there until it's his turn
to be waited on. A man, who was already in the butcher shop, finished his
purchase and noticed the dog.
The butcher leaned over the counter and asked the dog what it wanted today.
The dog put its paw on the glass case in front of the ground beef, and the
butcher said, "How many pounds?"
The dog barked twice, so the butcher made a package of two pounds ground
beef. He then said, "Anything else?"
The dog pointed to the pork chops and the butcher said, "How
many?"
The dog barked four times and the butcher made up a package of four pork
chops. The dog then walked around behind the counter so the butcher could
get at the purse. The butcher took out the appropriate amount of money and
tied the two packages of meat around the dog's neck.
The man, who had been watching all of this, decided to follow the dog. It
walked for several blocks and then walked up to a house where it began to
scratch at the door to be let in. As the owner opened the door, the man
said to the owner, "That's a really smart dog you have
there."
The owner said, "He's not really all that smart. This is the second
time this week that he forgot his key."
